I really enjoyed doing this sketch and the card fell together quite easily with it. I decided to use green and yellow for a change as I tend to stick to alot of pink and purple on my cards. Coloured Tilda with Copics and layered her onto the sissix cut out and DCWV spotty papers. Added flowers, sentiment, brads, buttons and bling.

This weeks challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge was to use a recipe of 3 flowers, 2 papers and 1 brad/charm on your card. I used this image that was sent to me by my blogging friend Shelley at Minkies paper paradise (Thanks shelley)I coloured it with Copics and then layered onto lilac card and backing papers. I added the 3 flowers,used 2 backing papers and added 1 brad to the centre of the top flower. The sentiment was a magazine freebie from a while back. I added some glitter glue, buttons and bling to finish.

Wow 2 posts in a week --- I'm really getting back into this!!!! Not for long though as I wont be able to get up into my loft this coming week as hubby is on late shift and my eldest has got GCSE exams all week (poor thing)and needs to revise in the evenings so I must be on hand to provide cups of tea and biscuits and keep the little one from mithering her every 5 minutes.

So enough of me waffling, here's the card. Bought this stamps last weekend at the craft show I went to. Have seen her many times on other peoples cards and thought she was so cute. I coloured her with Copics in sort of dragonfly colours and glittered her wings and collar. Layered her onto some backing papers added ribbon, bow and flowers. The sentiment stamp is my daughters(not sure of make) layered onto a small nestability circle- also glittered.

Hello, sorry I haven't updated in a while, I haven't got any real excuses other than I couldn't muster up the enthusiasm to get my butt up into the loft and get crafting. Anyway after visiting the Happy stampers Northwest stamp show at Port Sunlight it seems I purchased some enthusiasm along with some yummy new stamps!!Haha

Isn't she a beautiful stamp, I just couldn't leave her there. A stand called Paper Pleasures from Nova Scotia, Canada were selling them. she is called "Crystal" from a collection called Enchanted Hallow.

I stamped her in Versafine and coloured her with copics, I layered her onto card and "little sizzles" backing paper. I added the Sizzix die cut swirls, glitter glue, ribbon and sentiment.

About Me

Hello, I live in Chester, England. I have been married to Drew since September 91 and we have two daughters 18 and 7. I love to make Greetings Cards mostly but also dabble with scrapbooks and ATCs but don't seem to get as much time as I would like to do more of it. I watch too much television and am always thinking I should be on a diet but doing diddly squat about it. I like rock music, frothy coffee and thunderstorms.
I have enjoyed other peoples blogs so thought I might have a try myself. So here it is,hope you like it!Please do leave comments I'd love to know what you think of my stuff!
